History

Ahmedpur–Katwa narrow-gauge railway line connecting Ahmedpur and Katwa was established on 29 September 1917 by McLeod's Light Railways. Indian Railways had taken over the operation of this narrow-gauge railway from McLeod and Company in 1966.^[4] After closing this track in 2013 the railway section was converted into 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) broad gauge in 1917.^[5] The conversion work started in 2013 and was completed in early 2017. The track including Jnandas Kandra railway station was reopened for the public on 24 May 2018.^[6]
